I have just started to use WebGrab++ v2.1 and am experiencing an issue with the UK RadioTimes epg grab (radiotimes.com.ini Revision 15). All works well except that the Season number appears to be the total number of episodes in the season/series rather than the actual season/series number. The episode number seems to be OK.
e.g. grab results:
<programme start="20180502083000 +0100" stop="20180502090000 +0100" channel="BBC Two">
<title lang="en">Great British Railway Journeys</title>
<episode-num system="onscreen">S15 E15</episode-num>
Information from Radio Times site for same programme:
Great British Railway Journeys
E15 of 15
Criccieth to Caernarfon
Series 9 - Episode 15
The line in the config file that seems to be associated with the episode grab is;
index_episode.scrub {regex set(pattern="'E1'/'S1'")||"EpisodePositionInSeries":"(\d+/\d+)||}
How can I modify this to return Series Number instead of EpisodePosition in Series - even better Series Number and Episode Number/Total Episodes (i.e. S9 E15/15)? How can I see the actual raw xml return from the radio times site? As you can see I am very new to all of this.
it's a wrong info provided by the site, may be a typo error, as you can see in details shows "EpisodePositionInSeries":"15/15."
Also the related link http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/f5kxmf/great-british-railway-jo... shows page missing
Many thanks both for your responses.
Blackbear199. This confirms my thoughts as tvguide.com seems to pull back the information correctly. Will contact the last person as suggested.
Hi
Did you get a fix for this as I'm having the same problem
David
Hello
Yes. I contacted the developer directly and the radiotimes.com.ini file was updated to revision 17. This now returns SxxExx correctly and I have been using it successfully since last May. The only issue I've had since was not because of this .ini file but because I had not installed the latest version of Mono (I run the system on a Pi and was on v4 and it should be v5), something that has been stressed elsewhere in this forum.
I have just looked at the current SiteIniPack and see that it still has v15 of radiotimes.com.ini (the 'bad one'), so it may be best to contact the developer, Netuddki, directly to get the latest, the file may have been updated since then.
Hope this helps.
Hi
Thanks for the response. I tried to message the maintainer but they appear to have blocked private messaging so I'll have to hope they read this :)

Hello again
In that case here is the file that I am using.
Hopefully this will work for you.
Thanks,
with a bit of reading the manual and fiddling I got something works for me.

So, I have spent the best part of two days (more or less none stop) trying to get RadioTimes working and then enriched with IMDB data. I'm so close to throwing the towel in because I really am not getting anywhere :(
The ini attached here seems to be the most current one I have found, but even with that I noticed that there are two elements for the Episode Number:
1..
1.48/74.
The Episode Subtitle contains numerous variations, and Movies don't have data like Producer, Actors etc so I am thinking that is what is causing the problem with the data enrichment from IMDB (there aren't enough items present to match on).
I have tried to work all this out myself but whilst I thought I was getting close, it almost seems more hassle than it is worth lol... may look into a paid service that provides a complete data set, if such a service exists.
Anyways, does anyone happen to have a similar setup that works which I could so kindly "borrow" please?
